摘要:
An orthopedic device is provided for treating complications of the hip and has means for trochanter compression, pelvis support, lumbar compression, variously directed straps, and thigh support. The trochanter compression and an internal/external rotation strap provide pain relief through compression and skin protection, unloading of joints through compression and sealing, and unloading by load transfer. Means for adjustably dosing of straps enables pain management and ease of use.

Liners are adapted for use with a prosthetic or orthotic device, and provide a barrier and/or interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket, or between an orthotic device and the site of application. The prosthetic and orthotic liners include at least one antiperspirant, and methods of forming the same in an efficient, reliable manner. The liners may include aluminum-based antiperspirants such as Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Glycine. The antiperspirants may be provided as a powder or anhydride, may first be constituted in a silicone-oil, and mixed under vacuum. The antiperspirant-oil mixture can be combined with silicone components and mixed under vacuum. The resulting complete mixture is then cast and cured into a silicone elastomer liner with antiperspirant dispersed and/or embedded.

An orthopedic device includes a brace support having at least one strap for providing corrective orientation of a joint and unloading of the joint, and an electrical stimulation system for providing an electrical signal to a user's musculature at or proximate to the joint. The electrical stimulation system provides at least one electrical pulse to the musculature in supplement to the corrective orientation of the joint to induce contraction of the musculature. The electrical stimulation system may include at least one electrode for generating the electrical pulse, and a sensor module for determining movement and orientation of a user's limb for selectively activating the at least one electrode according to predefined criteria and feedback from the sensor module.

An orthopedic device has detachable components for treatment stages of an injury or surgical procedure. The orthopedic device is arranged as a protective functional support for regeneration of knee cartilage after surgical repair procedures, and includes a flexion control kit and a wrap-around liner sleeve.

An orthopedic device is arranged for dynamically treating the knee. The device includes a hinge assembly, a frame having an upper cuff and a lower cuff spaced apart from and connected by the hinge assembly, and a dynamic shell connected to the frame and extending along the first side of the brace. An adjustment system is connected to the dynamic shell and includes a tensioning element operatively engaging the shell and the hinge assembly. The adjustment system is arranged to increase and decrease tension in the tensioning element. The dynamic shell is arranged to be drawn toward the frontal plane as the orthopedic device goes from an extension orientation to a flexion orientation.
